    Okay, with my tech week of hell past me, I’d like to get back on the typical routine here. @UMFan83, you’re up to start the game thread against the Best Fans in Baseball for the Worst Team in the National League.
  2. Brock Beauchamp
    I was very sleepy.

    I see I mistyped Alcantara this morning. No, I’m not going to fix it.
  4. Brock Beauchamp
    This should be an interesting game with Alcantra on the mound vs Wesneski. Wesneski has been very good his past two starts, posting a 1.64 ERA over 11.0 innings.

    Basically, it treats each game as a discrete event and tries to use hit data and sequencing to project expected runs. I think it’s a much better metric than Pythag, especially early in the season when one or two blowouts can have a large impact on total runs.

    What this thread needs is a really intense argument over the definition of the word mediocre.
  8. Brock Beauchamp
    Especially once you factor in their terrible luck in sequencing.
  9. Brock Beauchamp
    Nice clean win to get back on track.
  10. Brock Beauchamp
    Attaboy, Mervis.
  11. Brock Beauchamp
    Uh oh, Mervis just said ”I’ve always wanted to play in *the* MLB” Demote him.
  12. Brock Beauchamp
    Which is why I prefer BaseRuns. Each A’s blowout counts as one win and has no impact on other games the team has played.
  13. Brock Beauchamp
    Interesting. Tellez is a really nice floor. Is Mervis's defense good? Because Tellez is a butcher at first.

    It sure looked and felt that way with Robert, Anderson, Giolito, et al. But then the farm system didn't only fail to provide depth behind those great players, it failed entirely. The recent White Sox are a good example of how badly things can go with a stars and scrubs approach to roster-building.

    I didn't realize just how much bad luck the Cubs have rolled into this season. I knew they had drawn the short straw a few times but... yikes. The Cubs are 15-16 right now. Their pythag record is 20-11. Even more telling, their BaseRuns record - which I find to be more accurate than pythag because it treats each game as a discrete event, as it should be - is 21-10. They should be scoring 5.10 runs a game while giving up only 3.47 runs a game. That 21-10 BaseRuns record is good for third in all of baseball behind the Rays and Braves. https://www.fangraphs.com/depthcharts.aspx?position=Standings

    I just gave myself whiplash when I realized that Google was founded four months after Wood struck out 20 batters.
  17. Brock Beauchamp
    This should be a fun one to tune into. Day game at Wrigley, Steele on the mound, Mervis likely to be in the lineup!
  18. Brock Beauchamp
    Fun! I know what I'll be doing this afternoon!
  19. Brock Beauchamp
    Ah, I didn't realize he hit the IL. It's been a real week for me.
  20. Brock Beauchamp
    It's fun to see Amaya in Chicago but this whole three catchers thing is not awesome.
  21. Brock Beauchamp
    Woof. This has been a bad baseball week. Let's go ahead and beat one of the worst teams in baseball. Just this once.
  22. Brock Beauchamp
    We're getting the old domain back! In a week. But still!
  23. Brock Beauchamp
    Hey, a person responded. I'm slightly more optimistic this might get resolved at some point.
  24. Brock Beauchamp
    I had to pick something that could be used as a permanent fallback in case we can't get the domain back to Tim. And having found out that this registrar just lost a $3m lawsuit to Facebook for cybersquatting, things feel pretty bleak.
  25. Brock Beauchamp
    Trust me, no one is more upset about it than me. I've spent the past six weeks working to build up NSBB and its traffic and due to a registrar that won't do its job, all of that work has basically been torpedoed due to no fault of anyone here unless we can pry the domain out of the registrar's hands and back to Tim's control.
